Yes, Erlik, after reading a bit on Rhino (as noted above) I figured out that was a rounded edge (or radiused ... whichever term you like). It would be possible to do the base in Bryce with that effect, but it's all sort of moot anyway. My basic point (and I do have one) is that not everyone can afford to go the easy route and that should never force them to cramp their creativity. If Brycers (who are only using Bryce, for whatever reason) think they are limited to the models they can buy or get for free, then their scenes will suffer for it. Don't get me wrong, Rhino looks like a wonderful program, and in fact, I ordered it last night (mostly because I'd like to produce some models that I can also use in Vue) ... HOWEVER, I hope to heck I never stop using my boolean modelling skills (both in Bryce and Vue).

Could be worse, could be raining.
